Arcade Fire aim for spring 2017 release with fifth album

Canadian indie rock heavyweights ARCADE FIRE are in the middle of recording their new studio album. As they are set to play a few selected headline shows at this year’s festival season the band’s Will Butler now opened up about the anticipated follow-up to 2013’s Reflektor via an AMA on Reddit.

According to him they are aiming for a release ‘next spring’ although he also added that there is ‘no definite schedule’ and ‘it’ll be done when it’s done.’ Anyway, a 2016 release is off the table so we have to wait a few more months for new ARCADE FIRE material, boys and girls.

A while back we took our joyful little YouTube show too the cosy stage of a travel office at the heart of Hamburg's Reeperbahn. What could go possibly wrong? Well, actually not that much. Instead we were blessed with joyful guests who added their own flavor to each of these performances.
